‘Scary Hours 3’ just dropped at midnight, with Drake announcing its release in a trailer, adding that he wrote all its songs since For All the Dogs came out last month. In the trailer, Drake said: “I feel no need to appease anybody. I feel so confident about the body of work that I just dropped, I know I could go disappear for, whatever, six months, a year, two years—even though I’m not really into the super lengthy disappearances for the sake of mystery. But, you know, ultimately, it’s coming to me in a way that I haven’t experienced maybe since, like, If You’re Reading This, where I feel like I’m on dr-gs. I feel like I’m in that mental state without doing anything. I did those songs in the last five days. I didn’t have one bar written down for those songs on the night that For All the Dogs dropped. It’s not like I’m picking up from some unfinished sh*t. You know, this is just happening on its own. And who am I to fight it?”

Drake also dropped the music video for his J. Cole collab “First Person Shooter“, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Take a look at the video – here.

Earlier this week, Drake announced the North American ‘It’s All a Blur Tour – Big as the What?’ with J.Cole, launching in 2024, posting on social media: “ x Right back at it…Cash App Pre sale.

“Lovin On Me” was first teased back in October on Jack’s TikTok, when he began posting clips playing with and walking his dog, accompanied by clips of the song. Harlow could be seen rapping along to the chorus before abruptly ending the track (before viewers could hear it in its entirety.)
